Is race/physical appearance an issue in Korea?

[jooles85]

Hi there,
I am a recent law graduate looking for an adventure. I am a 23 year old female, and am half Chinese, one quarter Greek and one quarter Australian.
I was born in and have lived in Australia all of my life.
This may sound silly but due to hearing some negative reports in other forums, I am just wondering whether I would receive less respect from my students and/or peers due to the fact that I look Asian but am not Korean?
Thanks for your time,
Julie.

It is true that it can be more challenging to find a job for an applicant who is not Caucasian. That being said, the schools, or school boards that look beyond physical appearance will not mind that you are 1/2 Chinese, compared to being of Korean heritage.

We have schools that we are confident would like to see your online application.

We look forward to helping you find the right job for you in Korea.
